- LPC, LMHC
I am a License Professional Counselor (LPC) since 2018. I have worked with clients with various backgrounds with various concerns and cultures including LGBTQIA+, depression, anxiety, PTSD and relationship issues. I specialize in trauma and Eye Movement Desentization Reprocessing (EMDR)
I received my Master's degree in Professional Counseling. I have worked in clinical settings with venturing out to start my own private practice. My primary experience is with LGBTQIA+, addictions, relationship issues, anxiety and depression.
Have you struggled with behaviors that contribute relationship issues? Does anxiety hinder you from experiencing a satisfying lifestyle? Does depression stop you from living a fulfilling life? I am passionate about helping people who struggles with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addictions, self esteem, stress, sports performance and trauma. I can help you to move forward towards a happier life.
My therapy style is warm and respectful. My approach is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
solution focus therapy and motivational interviewing. I believe people need a starting point to start the process of healing. This is where healing begins.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Great guy, within a few sessions I can feel a change already. Can wait to see where this goes!
It is nice to have support processing through trauma.
Lonnie is very knowledgeable and helpful. I have learned so much in this short time. Each session he’s given me advice, tools, etc on things to help with anxiety. I’m starting to see meaningful changes in how I approach and respond to stress and the therapy has improved my life in a concrete way.
Lonnie is an amazing therapist who listens and who has a wide range of experiences. I do like the fact he also there last second also if needed to talk to him.
After never needing therapy. Lonnie did a great job hearing out my story and then working on a plan to deal with my pinned up emotions. I'm looking forward to better days
Lonnie is so heartfelt and gets to the heart my concerns without me having to say it. I highly recommend him as a therapist. You won’t regret it!
Lonnie is a great listener and has really helped me to take a step back and be more mindful. He is very gentle in his communication which was very helpful for me to understand how to proceed and also made me feel comfortable in voicing my feelings and concerns I am dealing with. I’m still a work in progress, but it has been extremely helpful to work with Lonnie on my mental health!
Lonnie is very personable, knowledgeable, and has a plan for how I can make it through this. Thank you
Lonnie has been great. He responds quickly to things and shows a professional and very positive and upbeat environment. He seems very knowledgeable in the areas we are speaking and in just a few sessions seemed to really understand they type of personality I have and how to ask questions and sum things up for us. Good stuff
Thanks for the advice. Been helpful so far
Really active listener and knows a lot of things about mindfulness
Lonnie and I have only had 1 session and I thought it went well. I look forward to working with him. He always responds to my messages right away and always has some great wisdom for me.
Lonnie has helped me create effective coping skills. He takes the time to listen to everything you have to say and help combat negative thoughts and feeling through his very helpful exercises! Definitely would recommend Lonnie to anyone struggling with anxiety and depression.
Lonnie has great insight, knows how to ask good questions and helps present ideas to work on. I appreciate his up front approach and his ability to gently challenge me and my thinking. I highly recommend Lonnie!
Lonnie helped me understand how my behaviors related to my brain and how to deal with them in a way that was useful, powerful, and healthy.
Lonnie is an amazing human being. He is extremely open to not only someone seeking assistance but also my expectations as a paying customer on this platform. He speaks with plenty of insightful knowledge and very helpful first hand experience. He is never one to judge, and has been in our shoes. Would highly recommend!
I really appreciate my therapist level of expertise with multiple diagnoses
I have only been talking to Lonnie for a short time, but he is very insightful.
Perfect fit.
I was seeking help with a specific personal issue. Lonnie was up-front with me on our first call that he is not experienced in this area. We had a good call and he gave me some advice on seeking help with someone else. I appreciate his honesty and concern for me to find the right fit for my counseling needs.
Lonnie does a great job listening, asking questions and understanding his clients. Then he provides sound counseling
Great
